What You Should Know

You'd find these in the bakery or packaged-bread section and they’re the kind of grab-and-go bun people bring to tailgates, weeknight dinners, or casual weekend brunches — indulgent and a little nostalgic with a soft, chewy pretzel-style texture. The ingredient list (refined enriched flour, added vegetable oil and sugar) plus industrial dough conditioners like ascorbic acid and enzymes and a ready-to-eat packaged format indicate industrial processing that yields a uniform texture and shelf stability.
